Yesterday missy’s cursed corsa lost all its water due to the water pump gasket bursting, literally was pouring out the damn thing all over the road, so I popped in an egg (just the white bit) and as usual leaks fixed. But I was wondering how long does this tend to last? Fixed a burst casting on the JCB a year ago this way and it’s still fine. Just can't be arsed taking the pump of this car as it’s a large diesel stuffed in there with no room to work

any idea?

I thought that was an old wives tale?....you are now saying it eggsactly works?....

Probably not quite as long as it lasts in a tyre. But at least till you sell it?

Yup it defo works.

My old dear used one years ago and it stayed leak-free for over a year!!

no antifreeze then?

normally antifreeze kills the egg,

Apparantly ground pepper works well too....

Too often these fixes work too well.... I once cycled 20 miles to see some R/C aeroplanes only to find that my thieving flat mate had half-inched my puncture repair kit. In the end I used some superglue and a little bit of wing rubber-band and it worked nicely for six months

Result!!!

Iv seen the egg trick used plenty of times. Its amazing these companys that sell products to fix leaks actually make any money

You can egg-spect it to last just as long as the first time you REALLY need the car and then it will egg-splode.

Sorry... only yoking

Doh..
I hate "egg" jokes.
I find them Eggsasperating......
